PoelkapelleThere is a wide variety of accommodation available in the town of Ypres and immediate surroundings. Accommodation is given here with contact details and websites as appropriate. In addition, the Ypres/Ieper Tourist Office can supply a colour brochure of all the hotels and Bed & Breakfast guesthouses in Ieper and Greater Ieper giving photographs, facilities and prices.
[7 guest rooms with ensuite facilities. Small groups of up to 16 persons can be accommodated.] The farm was given the name "Varlet Farm" by British soldiers during WW1 and appears as such on trenchmaps. The original farm, situated on Passchendaele territory and strongly fortified by the Germans, was finally taken by the "Hood Battalion", Royal Naval Division, after fierce fighting in October 1917. Nothing of the original farm remained by 1918. In 1922 rebuilding commenced just a few metres from the original site and the result is the building that the family lives in today. Today Varlet Farm is a typical working farm. 5 miles (9 km) from Ypres and close to all the major battle sites, memorials and cemeteries. Varlet Farm is ideally situated for anyone wishing to research the Ypres Salient.
